The 25-year-old victim, who chose to be identified only as Kivona, said the assault took place just before 2 a.m. at a McDonald's in Dearborn, Michigan.

She told WXYZ that the customer ordered a frappe, but she informed him that the machine was currently not in operation.

"It wasn't like I was being nasty or anything. I just took his order and he wasn't satisfied with the answer he had got," she said. "He drove up and I opened the window halfway to take his money. He shot me with a paintball gun and drove off."

Kivona said she was horrified because she initially thought she had been shot with a real gun. She hopes police are able to track the shooter down.

"You're gonna get what's coming to you, that's all. You reap what you sow. He's gonna get it really good," she said.

In an interview with WDIV, Kivona said it's hard for workers when they have to inform customers that machines are out-of-order.

"It's tough because people think we're lying about the machines and everything, and it's not our fault," Kivona said. "It's the truth."

She said she is praying for the customer and for the safety of other fast food workers.
